GERMANS WHINEOVER EXACTIONBY THE ALLIESForeign Minister BewailsCordon of Troops WhichGermany Must Pay.PLEADS FOR REVISIONCannot Carry Out ReparationUnless Occupation ofRliineland Is Altered.VAST BURDEN ON PEOPLECountry Disarmed and InhabitantsShould Not Be Drivento Despair.By H A VMOX D SWING.Special Cable to The Xkw York Hkrm u.Oopi/riiiht, /?>??, bu Tiib New York Mekai.d.New York Hern Id Hiireiiti. IHrrlin, Xm. I". (The German official campaign forrevision of the Treaty of Versailleswas strikingly accentuated when Dr.Walter Simons, German Foreign Minister,speaking at the Mayor's receptionin Cologne, declared Germanycould not even consider fulfilling herreparations obligations until u sensiblebusiness solution had been found forthe problem of allied military occupationof the Ithlneland. The 145,000allied and .American troops there, hedeclared, compose an army nearly 50per cent, larger than the entire militaryforce allowed to Germany for themaintenance of order in the remainderof the country. He challenged thevalidity of the allied position that thislarge force was necessary.The Watch on the Rhine.The Army of Occupation all told, hosaid. Is eoual to twelve infantrv divisionsand one and a half cavalry divisions.These allied forces are divided as follows:France, seven Infantry divisions andono cavalry division, or 100,000 men;Groat Britain, three infantry divisionsand one cavalry brigade, or 20,000 men ;Bcdglum, ony infantry division, or1 S.000 men ;United States, one infantry division,or 12,00 > inen."The German army, dispersed as itIs throughout Germany, would he unableto make a sudden attack upon this armywith Its superior equipment," lie said' From a military point of view, I cannotbelieve a defensive policy on thepart of the Allies the only one, if itis, then why have the bridgeheads alongtlie Rhine been so greatly extended nsan offensive bast*? Why has manoeuvringground been taken so far bcyon1the army's needs? Why lias a fieldbakery been built with a capacity necessaryto supply bread for an arrny of400,000 men? Why have strategicbridges been thrown across the Rhine?"Four French army corps are stationeddirectly behind the Army of Occupationand parallel with our frontierin the direction of I^orraine. They arcgarrisoned there nnd ready to march.They have a strength of 120,000 men."This gives the impression that theRiiineland is not being used for security,but as concentration territory for anew attack upon Germany."Germany Hits to Pay.The irony of the situation, I>r. Simonsdeclared, lay in the fact that Germanyhad to pay for this hostile military preparationfrom her own pocket. He mentinned an ngrocunenr anionic inr Ainr.rwhich, lie said, was announced by aone-time French minister recently, thatthe cost of allied occupation of thefthinelnnd would he limited to 240,000,000gold marks when Germany halcompleted her disarmament."We have not been informed by theAllies of such an arrangement, and If ifhas been made still the burden on uswould be very onerous "The people of the ilhlneland, he continued,are restricted and disturbed inbusiness and private life."The housing problem there shows or.eof the most evil effects of the occupation,"he declared. "More than l.OOOdwellings had to be supplied Iti Colognefor foreign officers and subalterns,while In Cologne 2,000 German officialsand their families are homeless. Toecost of living. Increased hy army purchasesarid requisitions, is iiard to meet.The Ithine provinces bear this woe forthe wholo nation and have a right tothe nation's consideration."During the last discussion of thebudget, the estimates were raised from10.000,000,000 to 15,000,OOo.OOO and then to30,000.000,000 and finally to 3d.000.ijOO.HOOmarks. To this must bo added the indemnlflratlonsthe State has paid tothe people of the Kliineland."The Brussels and the Geneva conferencesare before us.

America.However, the Argentine position respectingadmission of enemy States to| J>?gue membership cannot he said toi accord with the French view. Argen|Una's speaker said:j "It is essential that all sovereignj States be admitted in such a way thatj their non-incorporation in the league! would merely be the result of their ownj wishes. The strength of the league liesj in the incorporation into it of the great|est possible number of States. The nonadmission of States could create a dangerousantagonism, could cause^another, league by the States left outside to belined up against the present league andI could be the cause of much disquietude."Regarding nn international court ofjustice, he said: "The organization ofa permanent court of Justice is soessential that the Argentine cannot iin!agine the league existing without it.By its obligatory jurisdiction and sentencesit would be a defender of internationalright, of relations betweenstates and of all against any country' which sought to disturb the peace ofi the world." ,I.o- 1 Robert Cecil defended, as wellus tlcised, the league's course thusfar. pporently referring to Senator! Harding's position, but without namingthi* American President-elect, he declaredtlmt the league was not dead,but. to tin* contrary, it was very muchalive, as reports of the council's activitiesshowed.He made a plea for more publicity Inthe council's meetings. Insisting that thedemand for publicity ran throughout the1 covenant, and that there had been muchcriticism in Great Britain and in SouthAfrica, whom he represented, againstthe secrecy surrounding the council. Hej also voiced a plea for action immedi!nteiy on the Armenian question and for| decisive action regarding disarmament.I His chief criticism of the council wasI that It had not done too much, but to >! little. Speaking from the rostrum withall the zeal and fervor of a covenantor,he said :"Ia-t us not be afraid of our power,i but go on from strength to strength. ItI is not by doing too much that the leaguei is in danger. The danger that threatensthe league is that it may graduallysink into a position of respectable, mediocrity and become a useless diploImatlc machine.
